Okay, folks, let's talk spiders. Not the creepy-crawly-in-your-shower kind. We're talking about *her*, the isekai queen, the reincarnated arachnid: *So I'm A Spider, So What?* You know, the anime and light novel sensation. And yes, I've been lurking in the SoImASpiderSoWhat Reddit threads. Don't judge me.
Unpopular Opinion Time!
Prepare yourselves. I have some thoughts. And these thoughts might ruffle some feathers. I might even get downvoted into oblivion. But hey, that's what Reddit is for, right?
First off, can we talk about the human side of the story? Yeah, yeah, I know. We're here for the spider. But sometimes, I zone out when it's the human's turn. Sorry, not sorry. Anyone else feel the same?
The Kumoko Love Is Real
Let's be honest, Kumoko's internal monologue is the best part. Her struggles are relatable. Her triumphs, hilarious. I mean, who hasn't felt like they were just desperately trying to level up in life?
And the food situations? I feel that on a spiritual level. Survival can be a comedy show. Especially when you're trying to eat a dragon.
The powers and evolutions? Awesome. Watching her climb the skill tree is addictive. It's like watching someone play a really good RPG.
The Anime... It's Complicated
Okay, the anime had its moments. But, let's be real, the CGI spider sometimes looked...special. Like it was auditioning for a low-budget horror film. Did anyone else chuckle at the awkward animations?
But hey, they tried! And some of the voice acting was on point. Especially Aoi Yuuki as Kumoko, she nailed it!
I get that adapting a light novel is hard. Especially one with so much internal narration. Maybe a second season will iron out the kinks?
The Power of Memes
Let's be real. The memes are glorious. They capture the essence of the series perfectly. I've lost countless hours scrolling through them. My productivity is definitely suffering, but it's worth it.
The *Kumoko* eating faces? Iconic. The comparisons to other isekai protagonists? Hilarious. Never change, internet.
I honestly think some people watch the show just for the meme potential. And I can't blame them.
The Lore Runs Deep!
Beneath the humor and the RPG elements, there's some seriously intricate world-building. The story gets surprisingly complex as it goes on. Did anyone else get confused with all the reincarnations and power struggles?
Sometimes I felt like I needed a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. But that's part of the fun, right? Untangling the mysteries of this world is satisfying.
And let's not forget the feels! Beneath the comedic elements, there are moments that are truly touching. *Kumoko's* journey of self-discovery is surprisingly emotional.
So, there you have it. My slightly chaotic thoughts on *So I'm A Spider, So What?* Maybe you agree, maybe you don't. But hopefully, I gave you a chuckle or two. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to lurking on Reddit.
And probably re-watching some *Kumoko* eating scenes.
